Kompany Reaffirms Bayern as Champions League Contenders After Perfect Start

He underscores how seldom even Bayern stalwarts lift the trophy.

Overview

  • Bayern have opened the season with seven wins from seven competitive matches, including a Champions League opener against Chelsea.
  • In a Sky interview, Vincent Kompany said he has long maintained Bayern can compete for the title and will keep repeating that message.
  • He emphasized the difficulty of the tournament, pointing out that Manuel Neuer and Thomas Müller have won it only twice in roughly two decades at the club.
  • Kompany noted the squad had a very short summer due to the Club World Cup in the United States, leaving little time for rest or preparation.
  • He acknowledged the team has done things sports scientists typically advise against yet said they are on the right track and intend to continue the run.
